What our clients are saying

Hover over our clients below to listen to what they have to say about us.
"Some of my favorite colleagues I’ve ever worked with."

After working with @VirtualCounsel, I suddenly found my company taking off. Everything I needed to do on the legal side of things was right at my fingertips and there was a team ready and willing to communicate with me about my business needs."

Adam Apollo
,
CEO, Superluminal Systems
“A Godsend”

"I am able to talk to someone on the @VC team at any point in time using Slack (which is what I use for my business) and get the answers I need about legal without being on this crazy, on the clock, hourly billing cycle that the traditional lawyers use."

Alex Fairman
,
Co-Founder, Logos
"Recommend to any startup or growing business."

“I’m a huge fan of @VirtualCounsel because I’ve seen how cost-effective they are, how quickly they work, and how closely they work with me, as a small team, to make sure I get what I need done.”

Brendan Kennedy
,
Founder & CEO, NxTSTOP
"We see them as a partner and an internal team."

"I honestly have had the best experience working with @VirtualCounsel. Not just the predictability of payments, but more so the level of service has been above and beyond any service-based company I have ever worked with."

Christian Chasmer
,
Co-Founder & COO, Vessel Health
"Absolute gamechanger."

“@VirtualCounsel is also strategic in terms of helping us to think about our risks in a different way, and some of those other things that I may not think of… they help me manage downside, think through things in detail, manage things with employees/team, and structure everything in smart and effective way.”

James Hodges
,
CEO & Co-Founder, Amphibian Capital
"Affordable and super easy"

“@VirtualCounsel made it super affordable and super easy and they did it in a quick manner as well. Thank you for making my life so much easier.”

Kim Roach
,
Founder, Kim Roach Collective
"Culturally they're a fit."

“@VirtualCounsel has seen it and done everything with us… We’ve undergone acquisition, share buybacks, very very complex legal agreements with Fortune100 and Fortune10 companies… They’ve done an incredible job.”

Matthew Geller
,
Co-Founder & CEO, CovalentCreative
"I will never go anywhere else."

"I can actually talk to them . . . they're not stuck up attorneys who you can't really have a conversation with. I actually ENJOY talking with my legal team!"

Michael Supina
,
CEO, Motiv Mktg
“I would use them in any company I start, in perpetuity.”

“@VC came in at a really critical time. They actually ended up serving as a role of sales enablement by being a partner that can react quickly and get us the right kind of agreements in place with big enterprises.”

Sean Ring
,
Co-Founder, Fulcrum
"They saved me $15,000."

“After setting up my LLC, almost immediately I was being sued by somebody. But, I had @VirtualCounsel there, they were prepared, I sent the problem to them, from that point on they took care of it – and they saved me $15,000. It was easy. I loved it.”

FAQs

How do I get started?
Book your free consultation here now!
How are you different from LegalZoom or BizCounsel? 
LegalZoom and BizCounsel have done a great job of providing low costs to its customers - they rely heavily on templates that can be found almost anywhere on the internet and also don’t deep dive into YOU and your business as much as @VirtualCounsel does. 

With @VirtualCounsel, you have a dedicated attorney point of contact who develops a deep understanding of your business model, goals, and way of operating - we provide far more than templates. We become true counsel in short order based on the level of involvement we have with you and your business - we balance legal protection with business goals and become strategic advisors more than just lawyers.
How are you different from big law firms?
We are a tight team and like it that way. We have work/life balance ourselves. Names, faces, families, souls. No corporate bureaucracy. Big law firms employ humans too, but they are kind of like a top-down scheme that focuses on demanding work hours from lower-level associates who are incentivized to increase billable hours and not incentivized to increase their or their clients’ success and happiness. 

We developed our model so that we can select powerful businesses to align with as our clients and provide true partnership and counsel - our clients’ success and happiness are directly aligned with our success and happiness. 
What law firm will provide my legal services?
VirtualCounsel, PC (i.e., @VirtualCounsel) is a virtual law firm, headquartered in San Diego, CA.

@VirtualCounsel™️ is not a law firm. Any legal services will be performed by the law firm VirtualCounsel, PC, a California professional law corporation. 
What is @VirtualCounsel?
VirtualCounsel, PC (i.e., @VirtualCounsel) is a virtual law firm headquartered in San Diego, CA. We are progressive corporate attorneys. We are a startup ourselves, and we built our law firm to serve startups in the way that we believe a professional service provider should serve their clients. 
Do I get a dedicated point of contact?
Yes. At the beginning of a relationship you will have a kick-off call with one of our talented attorneys who will operate as your primary point of contact. Even better, our technology gives our whole firm - all attorneys, legal staff, etc. - visibility into every client’s confidential portal. So you will have a team of bright minds collaborating on the important work for your business - and will always have your primary attorney point of contact running point. 
What if something falls outside of the Scope of Work?
We provide representation and advice on the specific legal matters you have hired us for, which means that our work together is limited to the Representation. If a project falls outside of the Scope of Work, we will always discuss the parameters of the work and fees with you before moving forward with it.

Additionally, if your business changes substantially, we will discuss the change in Scope of Work and will agree to a revised fee arrangement. Representation on any future matters will be subject to the terms of this Agreement and any other fee arrangements we may mutually agree upon. The question of whether a matter or issue falls within the scope of this Representation will be handled with common sense, mutual agreement, mutual respect, and fairness to both parties.
What is an A la Carte project?
A la carte projects refer to individual, one-off projects with a specific scope of work. These projects can be carried out for new clients or for current subscription clients when the work falls outside the scope of their subscription. On a case by case basis, we may bill these projects on an hourly basis or as a flat fee.
How will I be charged?
Legal fees are often a hot topic with our clients, so we want to share our philosophy with you. We prefer to engage in a @VC Monthly Subscription for legal projects instead of charging by the hour because we want to become strategic partners with our clients and we want to help you to grow. We have found that engaging in an @VC Monthly Subscription fosters a better attorney-client relationship. 

Because we want you to succeed, we will always treat you with respect and fairness and we never want you to be shocked with a surprise bill. That said, some matters are better suited for flat fee or hourly billing and if/when that type of billing becomes necessary we will discuss it with you in a collaborative forum.
How do Hourly Rates work?
For projects or work product that is billed hourly, the Firm's hourly rates are as follows: 
- $645/hour for Transactional Counsel, as needed from time to time on special transactional matters;
- $545/hour for Senior Attorneys and/or all securities, transactional, and equity-related legal work;
- $395/hour for Associate Attorneys and/or all other legal work;
- $245/hour for Paralegals and Law Clerks. 

Our hourly rates may increase in the future. Any such increase will only occur upon written notice to you. If you decline to pay the increased rates, we will have the right to withdraw as attorney for you if permitted under the Rules of Professional Conduct of the State Bar of California and/or applicable law.

Time is charged in minimum units of tenth-of-an-hour increments (0.1). Time spent on a task will be rounded up to the nearest tenth-of-an-hour. Unless we agree otherwise in writing by electronic means, all work will be billed on an hourly basis.
Are filing fees/expenses included in any of your fee structures?
Our fees DO NOT include third-party charges for postage, filing fees, license fees, application fees, or other charges and fees. Notably, this includes fees associated with forming a corporate entity and/or amending Articles/Certificates of Incorporation or other similar corporate documents and/or filing with governmental authorities. When we pay those fees on your behalf, you will be billed for them at cost.
How do Flat Fees work?
For flat rate projects, we will send you a fee quote in writing by electronic means, which will specifically describe the parameters of the project. If after beginning work the scope of the project expands beyond what was originally anticipated, we will discuss and agree upon an increase in fees. Our flat rates are based on receiving your prompt input and making revisions right away so flat rate projects must be completed within four (4) weeks of beginning the project, or additional fees will be incurred. In an effort to be mutually respectful of both parties’ time, if you engage us for a flat rate project, you agree, to the best of your ability, to be timely and descriptive in your communications to allow the applicable member of our team to complete the scope of the project within the four (4) week timeline.
How much does @VC monthly subscription cost?
Our subscription tiers range from $595 to $9,995/mo depending on your company's size, needs, stage, etc. Schedule a call!
How do I know which subscription level to choose?
We customize our monthly plans to suit your needs depending on your company's size, needs, stage, etc. Schedule a call and we will find the best subscription tier for your business! 
How does @VC Monthly Subscription work?
All plans include on-demand communication and access to us. When it comes to work product and projects, we customize our monthly plans to suit your needs. Schedule a call!
What level of contact will I have with my attorney if I’m a @VirtualCounsel subscriber?
You have on-demand access to your attorney POC and the entire team via Slack, Basecamp, and email. Also, depending on your subscription tier, you will have a standing call set up either monthly or bi-weekly with your attorney POC. You may always call us ad hoc on top of our standing calls, but we’ve found that between the on-demand access and standing calls, you’ll be more than covered.
How do I communicate with my lawyer?
We provide representation and advice on the specific legal matters you have hired us for, which means that our work together is limited to the Representation. If a project falls outside of the Scope of Work, we will always discuss the parameters of the work and fees with you before moving forward with it.

Additionally, if your business changes substantially, we will discuss the change in Scope of Work and will agree to a revised fee arrangement. Representation on any future matters will be subject to the terms of this Agreement and any other fee arrangements we may mutually agree upon. The question of whether a matter or issue falls within the scope of this Representation will be handled with common sense, mutual agreement, mutual respect, and fairness to both parties.
How does the subscription cost stack up against hourly?
On average our clients pay about 1/3rd of the cost if they were paying by the hour. We know, it’s a bit hard to believe, but what happens in our relationships with clients is that - since you’re not being charged for every email and every minute on the phone, you end up communicating with us way more - that’s the point! 
What is the subscription commitment term?
The @VC Monthly Subscription is a three (3) month automatically recurring commitment.

You may request to upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your Monthly Subscription by providing at least thirty (30) days written notice to @VC prior to the end of your then-current three (3) month term. If you provide such notice, your upgrade, downgrade or cancelation shall take effect at the end of the then-current term. Any such requests made outside of that thirty (30) day window shall become effective at the end of the next three month commitment term.   
How flexible are your subscriptions? 
We've found that business and the law are fluid. Some times of the year are "heavier" than others and the unexpected comes when least expected! We typically "flex" with our clients during those times without needing to upgrade the subscription investment.

However, as our clients scale, the volume and complexity of work tend to increase and become more regular. We monitor that, and will communicate in good faith any subscription changes needed if/when that time comes.
What is the @VC Lite subscription?
@VC Lite is our most affordable plan that offers ongoing access to our team and light review of documents / contracts as needed at a fixed monthly rate.

Subscribers benefit from a 20% discount on all a la carte (i.e., flat fee or hourly billed) services as long as the $1,000 retainer is maintained.
Why do I need to maintain a $1,000 retainer?
Maintaining the $1,000 retainer ensures you qualify for a 20% discount on all a la carte services. This retainer acts as a deposit, giving you immediate access to additional services beyond the scope of your subscription.
How are a la carte services handled under the @VC Lite plan
Any work that falls outside the scope of your subscription will be billed separately. For transparency, we will send you an invoice detailing the charges. After that, we will process the payment using the card or payment method we have on file. 
Why don’t you use the funds directly from the retainer for a la carte work?
We keep the $1,000 retainer untouched to simplify the billing process and ensure you always maintain the 20% discount benefit. If we deducted from the retainer and immediately required replenishment, it would create unnecessary back-and-forth for both you and us. Billing a la carte projects separately avoids confusion and ensures transparency.
How will I know if a service falls outside the scope of my subscription?
Before proceeding with any work that falls outside the scope of your subscription, we will inform you in advance and provide details about the service, including an estimate of the time and cost involved, if possible. We will seek your approval before moving forward, ensuring full transparency and no surprises.
